The clothes he wore upon him were home
spun, coarse and rough;
But one there was who watched him, who
long time fingered nigh,
And cast at him sweet glances from the cor

He drove up to the market, he waited in the

His apples and potatoes were fresh, and fair.

A YOUNG sCOUNDREI.
Deserts an Estimabie Young Lady Of
winthrop, on her Wedding Day.
Especial to Kennebec Journal

w AACunCDSC dOuTQal.
WINTHROP, Oct. "a.
winthrop Is one of the most stsid and
peaceable towns in this State, but there ia a
young man by the name of Fred Hobrook.
who, If he were here now would be in great
danger OF being strung up to tree or tele-
graph pole. He has been guilty of one of
the most dastardly and wicked tricks that
depraved human nature is capable Of
The facts are as follows: Six or seven
years ago he courted one of the most intelli-
gent and fairest of Winthrop's daughters He
completely won her affections and they were
engaged. He went West, and during all
these years they have corresponded regular
ly. He came to Winthrop about two week,
ago, dressed in the height of fashion. His
afianced met him at the train. In a day or
two they were published, and all prepara-
tions were made for the marriage, which was
to have taken place last Saturday The
young lady accompanied him to Dexter to
visit sister of his where they spent q few
days.
Her wedding outfit was all ready, her
many friends had made her many and beau
tiful presents and everything was ready for
the wedding day. They were to leave on the
same day of the marriage for Helena, Mon
tana, MIR. Holbrook's home. Boxes and
trunks had been procured and packed with
wardr obes, presents, etc.
Last Thursday morning Mr.. Holbrook told
his affianced, Che had been stopping at her
father's), that he was going down town to
make few calls on some friends and might
not be back to dinner. He came down town,
wrote note to her, put it in the post Office,
which said that he had concluded not to mar
ry her, and took the train Boston from which
place he wrote to gentleman in town, ask
ing him to forward to Boston his trunk and
valise. He had tried to induce her to &C.
company him to Chicago before they were
married there, but to this arrangement the
girls father would not consent. Nothing at
all had occurred between them of an un-
pleasant nature, and up to the very moment
of leaving he appeared the same devoted
lover as ever, he had assisted IN packing
trunks, boxes, etc., and to all appearances
took all the interest in the world in these
proceedings, and his sudden departure is en-
tirely unaccounted for upon any other hypo-
thesis than his pure cussedness aud diaboli-
cal villainy.
The young lady in question bears up brave
ly under it and says it had better occur now
than few years later; that while of course
l feel keenly the position in which l have
been placed, yet am glad to be rid of so
great scoundrel.
There is great deal of indignation in town
over the affair, as the young lady has always
been held in the highest esteem by all Mr..
Holbrook would undoubtedly fare hard were
he to step foot in Winthrop.
